Protos 3

High-Speed Accuracy for Effortless Colony Counting

The Synbiosis Protos 3 is a high-performance automated colony counter designed to deliver rapid, reproducible results for busy microbiology laboratories. Combining advanced imaging with intelligent analysis software, the Protos 3 provides accurate counts for a wide range of agar types and colony morphologies — eliminating manual error and accelerating throughput for consistent, reliable data. Our fixed-modular Protos 3 system includes our software modules for pour plates, spiral plates, chromogenic ID plates, and dilution series.

 

Imaging

With its high-resolution camera and integrated lighting system, the Protos 3 automatically captures and analyses plates with exceptional clarity. The system’s advanced algorithms accurately distinguish between colonies of varying size, shape, and colour, ensuring consistent performance across diverse sample types.

 

Throughput

Designed for efficiency, the Protos 3 can automatically count colonies on plates up to 100 mm in diameter in seconds. Its fast image processing and easy one-click operation make it ideal for high-volume environments where accuracy and speed are equally critical.

 

Integration

Results can be quickly exported to Excel, PDF, or LIMS for streamlined reporting and data traceability. With built-in audit trails and user-level access, the Protos 3 is suitable for regulated and research-based laboratories alike.
